I read an article in an art magazine, which showed paintings from a lady that liked to mess around using salt in her paint, which created fun structures, very organic. After she was done playing, she looked at what the painting could be (like shrubs or a building or a landscape), and then she painted the details, that would enhance the image.I tried to do the same (they did look a bit weird, when I pulled out the salt jar from my painting bag at my painting class), but used not watercolour paints, but acryl. The result was entirely different (salt has no influence on acryl like it as on watercolour, I discovered). So the technique I was looking for did not work. But I did play with bright paints, and splattered all the same.

Hi, I'm Bregtje. Here you can find me with my head between piles of paper, sticking stuff in arty albums and brushing away with paint. But I also can be found with my head in a newly home made cupboard or above the kitchen stove or even up side down in the garden! And now I'm developing a new hobby to add to my ever growing project list: blogging about it all! Please find my Garden blog, Kitchen blog, Homemaking blog and Art blog here!
